Abstract

This study aims to explore public perceptions of the narcissistic phenomenon of flexing crazy rich Indonesia on social media among seven female students aged 17 to 24 years who know and follow the phenomenon. Using a qualitative case study design and content analysis technique, the verbatim responses from internet media interviews were analyzed against the narcissistic scale by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). The results showed that the participants had unfavorable perceptions of the flexing phenomenon and provided responses and suggestions for its mitigation. However, the limitation of this study is the lack of validation of the respondents’ answers due to data collection being conducted remotely. This study highlights the need for more research on the topic and its implications for mental health .
